May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.

What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

It’s interesting to watch this platform try to decide what it is as people stream in from different apps. Memes, serious hit takes, personal photos, food pics and vids…something for everyone or a cacophony? TBD.

I think the hydrox/oreo cookie was invented when someone failed at making macarons. Take it from someone who has failed at making macarons a *lot* — slap some frosting in between and you’re still winning.

Nearly 100 people died on Kansas City roads last year, mostly on streets known to be dangerous. Now, the city will pay half a million dollars to figure out how to make its most dangerous roads safer.
Kansas City is trying to overhaul Troost Avenue and fix more of its dangerous roads
The city will hire a consultant to decide how to best improve its deadliest streets. It will also apply for a federal grant to redo the majority of Troost Avenue.
